BBC - Stop smearing Jermy Corbyn!

The biased BBC are up to their usual tricks again, smearing Jeremy
Corbyn.

last night's news reported the conviction of 4 asian men for
fraud on pensioners.

Great play was made on the completely unmerited and
unsubstantiated story that the money obtained was going to be used for
supporting DAESH terrorist aims, although there was a subsequent
admission that no charges had been brought or sought on any issues
involving terrorist activities.

At the end of the story, one defendant
was alleged to be associated with Jeremy Corbyn, but no other detailed
explanation was offered. This totally unjustified smear turned out to be
that JC had written an MP's letter for the man (a constituent),
confirming his residence in JC';s constituency, when the man was
applying for bail. MPs do such things time and time again and there is
nothing wrong in such an action, but theBBC sought to use the
association as a terrorist-related smear on JC.

This morning on the Today programme, not exactly known for its
fearlessly honest and fair reporting of Corbyn issues, Oxford educated
Labour MP Emma Reynolds pontificated on the need for JC to dissasociate
himself from a 'Stop the War' Coalition meeting tonight.

This
lightweight MP and ex-policy wonk, who has only been in the HoC since
2010, and who has never held down a proper job of real work in her life,
used a lot of old smears about individual members of the Coalition to
suggest that these are the sort of people with whom Labour should not be
associated, and therefore, by default, JC should not attend the
meeting.

Ms Reynolds was one of those Labour MPs who voted for the
bombing campaign in Syria, against the will of the Party, so her
opposition to the Stop the War event is more about her personal
opposition to JC as much as anything else.

JC has been openly
associated with the Stop the War Coalition since 2001, and only resigned
ffrom an office there when he became Leader of the Labour Party. His
alignment therefore is not exactly a secret. Quite what contribution Ms
Reynolds' spiteful involvement made on the programme was very
questionable, but it gave the BBC yet another opportunity to try and
smear JC.
